Block to the Future - Severn Roller Torrent vs Manchester Roller Derby

On Saturday (26/11/11) SRT took on MRD in Block to the Future. SRT won 261 - 105 which is awesome. I used the zoom lens I borrowed from college and it was really worth it, it was really fun to use and the photos have come out well.

Zoom lens!

Today I finally borrowed a zoom lens from college (which I've planned on borrowing before but never have) and as soon as I got it home I started messing around with it, and being amazed by it. I really wish I'd taken it before as it is very cool. I borrowed it with the Severn Roller Torrent v Manchester Roller Derby bout in mind which is tomorrow, and I might take it to town with me in the morning to get some more interesting photos, but these are the ones I took at home earlier today. You may not find them as amazing as I do because you don't see these things every day from the same place and know how far away they actually are, but I still like them just as photos too.

Ash and The Parlotones

Today I got a roll of Lomo CN 400 developed.  It has photos of Ash, The Parlotones and a few other things on it, the Ash ones are the best. I do like this film for gigs despite it being a grainy mofo. 

 

There are more here.

'The Art and Technique of Taking Portraits' book from 1963

The other day my grandad gave me this Focal Viewfinder book from 1963, 'The Art and Technique of Taking Portraits'. It's mostly just illustrations but there are a few pages of really cool photos in the middle...

More Holga 135 BC

Sorry I haven't posted in so long (I don't really know who I'm apologising to because I only have 4 followers and one of those is Cloggs but I'll apologise anyway) but I've been stupidly busy with college (partly because I didn't do any photography for the first few weeks back after summer because of Bluetones gigage and then I had loads to catch up on) and have been going to university open days and the like.

But anyway, I got a film developed from my Holga 135BC that I used mostly while we were on holiday in Yorkshire this year. The roll was a little bit hit-and-miss (there were a few more blank frames than usual, down to the fact that you can take multiple photos on one frame meaning there's nothing stopping you from accidentally pressing the shutter when you're carrying the camera around in your bag and taking blank photos) but there are some nice double exposures on it, like these:

and this one that I've been wanting to try for ages:

And my favourite single exposures:

The rest are on my lomography.
